Abstract
A single-step method of activation of monomethoxy-polyethylene glycols suitable for its binding to polypeptides and proteins is proposed. Based on the reaction with 2,4,5-trichloro-phenylchloroformate orp-nitrophenylchloroformate, it gives reactive PEG-phenylcarbonate derivatives. The PEG intermediate is stable on storage, the activating group is easily quantified, and the reaction with amino acid and proteins proceeds rapidly at pH near neutrality. The PEG derivatization of enzymes with this procedure is less inactivating than those previously reported. Ribonuclease and super-oxide dismutase were modified and the effect of (a) bound polymer on clearance time in rats, (b) antibody recognition, and (c) on the enzymatic activity toward low and high molecular weight substrates were studied.
